नर हो न निराश करो मन को

नर हो न निराश करो मन को 
कुछ काम करो कुछ काम करो 
जग में रहकर निज नाम करो 
यह जन्म हुआ किस अर्थ अहो 
समझो जिसमे यह व्यर्थ न हो 
कुछ तो उपयुक्त करो तन का 
नर हो न निराश करो मन को 

सम्हलो की सुयोग न जाये चला
कब व्यर्थ हुआ सदुपयोग भला 
समझो जग को न निरा सपना
पथ आप प्रशश्त करो अपना 
अखिलेश्वर है अवलम्बन को
नर हो न निराश करो मन को 

जब प्राप्त तुम्हे सब तत्त्व यहाँ 
फिर जा सकता वह सत्त्वा कहाँ 
तुम स्वत्वा सुधा रसपान करो 
उठ कर अमरत्त्वा विधान करो 
दवरूप रहो मन कानन को 
नर हो न निराश करो मन को 

निज गौरव का नित ज्ञान रहे 
हम भी हैं कुछ यह ध्यान रहे 
सब जाये अभी पर मान रहे 
मरणोत्तर गुंजित गान रहे 
कुछ हो न तजो निज साधन को 
नर हो न निराश करो मन को

Be Your Own Light

"atta deep bhav" - these were the last words of Gautam Buddha which means " Be Your Own Light"

Accept Yourself

"There is no need of any competition with anybody. You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good. Accept yourself. This is what enlightenment is all about - a deep understanding that there is no problem."           - Osho

Rise The Lion

I will tell you a story. A lioness in search of prey came upon a flock of sheep, and as she jumped at one of them, she gave birth to a cub and died on the spot. The young lion was brought up in the flock, ate grass, and bleated like a sheep, and it never knew that it was a lion. One day a lion came across the flock and was astonished to see in it a huge lion eating grass and bleating like a sheep. At his sight the flock fled and the lion-sheep with them. But the lion watched his opportunity and one day found the lion-sheep asleep. He woke him up and said, "You are a lion." The other said, "No," and began to bleat like a sheep. But the stranger lion took him to a lake and asked him to look in the water at his own image and see if it did not resemble him, the stranger lion. He looked and acknowledged that it did. Then the stranger lion began to roar and asked him to do the same. The lion-sheep tried his voice and was soon roaring as grandly as the other. And he was a sheep no longer. My friends, I would like to tell you all that you are mighty as lions.

Live Everyday

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

Way To Success

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
